Chapter 870 - Painful Cries (2/2)
Clenching his jaw, he moved over and patted Xiu's back in a soothing manner as he said, ”Xiu, why are you crying? Why don't you tell me who made you cry? What made you so sad? Just say it one time, I promise, I'll do anything to fix it, eh? Don't you say I'm your brother, then just tell me what is wrong? Your brother will solve it for you.”
Hearing his words, Xiu cried even harder if that was even possible. Seeing that, Xin Zimen smacked his son saying, ”What the hell are you doing? If you can't fix it, don't make it worse!”
Ah-Si who had been standing at the door didn't dare walk inside the room. From the moment, he had seen tears in Xiu's eyes when she looked at Xin Zimen, something tugged at his heart. He could faintly tell what was up with her. But he also knew he was just as helpless as she was in the condition. And the way she cried so painfully, made him didn't even dare to take another step.
”My little lass, if you continued to cry so sadly, it's gonna make me go crazy with fear. Please, say something. Your tears are hurting me now.”
”Xiu, at least tell us what is going on? How can we do anything if you continued to cry like this?”
Both Xin Zimen and Xiao Li tried everything to make her stop crying but the more they said something, the louder and painfully her crying got. It only made them feel hurt. As for Xiu, she cried until her voice grew hoarser, she cried until no tears were left to shed. She cried until she lost her unconsciousness from crying.
Ah-Si hurriedly called the doctor who asked them all to leave the room. Even Darren was moved out of the room. And just as they left the room, Xin Zimen stared at Darren and glared, ”You know why she cried!”
Darren rubbed his temples as he replied, ”Uncle Zi, just because I know the reason behind her tears doesn't mean I can do anything for her. This is the second time I'm feeling so helpless in my life. And I know she is feeling the same helplessness as well. We only cry when it gets too much. When we are not able to hold back our feelings any longer. It's better to let her cry like this.”
Xiao Li looked at Han Bohai suspiciously, ”Why are you here?”
Han Bohai was about to say something when Darren said on his behalf, ”Xiu wanted to see him. You don't have to look at him so suspiciously. He isn't the reason for her tears.”
”What the hell! If you won't say anything how will we know why she lost control like this?” shouted Xiao Li. Usually, he could keep his temper in check but today, he couldn't do it. Or more like, he didn't want to do it at all. He could still hear the sound of crying in his head and it seemed to be attacking him repeatedly now. ”Does it make sense that a lively person like her suddenly started crying? One minute she was smiling and the next, she broke down like this? Without any reason at all? What does this mean?”
”It's not the first time,” muttered Han Bohai in a low voice which earned him a lot of stares from the men around him. He wasn't fazed as he said, ”Just because she is good at laughing, doesn't mean everything is alright. It just means before today, she didn't think of you as close enough to let you see her vulnerable side like this.”
”Should I feel happy about the fact that now she thinks of me as someone she can depend on?”
Darren nodded to that, ”Maybe you should. Sweets don't cry before just anyone.”
”But I don't want to see her cry!” shouted Xiao Li and turned to his father. ”Dad, why are you not saying anything?”
Xin Zimen's eyes were glued to the closed door of the room as he replied, ”Xiao Li, stop talking. Let her wake up. We'll eventually know what's wrong.”
